The model
Read full reviewThe Skoda Octavia Estate offers a vast boot considering its size, and generous space for occupants. It's far more than just a big box on wheels, though. The relatively plush interior, generally cosseting ride and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances in. The iV plug-in hybrid makes financial sense for company car users.
The trim
See full equipmentFor a bit extra over the SE trim, SE Technology, which is aimed at business users mainly, gains floor mats, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, more distinctive 16in alloy wheels, front parking sensors, x5 USB-C ports and sat-nav.
The engine
See full engine specsEven the 108bhp 1.0 TSI 110 and mild hybrid 1.0 TSI e-Tec 110 feel peppy enough for extended motorway driving and are perfect for driving around town. They are also very frugal, easily managing mid-40mpg in the real world, but could feel a little strained carrying heavy loads regularly.
